  • Patent number: 11948383
    Abstract: A method for classifying a document in real-time is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more sections of the document likely to contain text based on a contrast between dark space and light space in an image of the document. Optical character recognition is performed within the identified sections of the document to identify a set of words within each identified section of the document. The sets of words are extracted from the identified sections of the document, and a subset of the sets of words is selected for classifying the document based on a preconfigured option. The document is then classified by inputting the selected subset of words into one or more machine learning models. The method includes transmitting the document and the determined classification of the document to an external server.

  • Patent number: 11613987
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the potential effectiveness of refracking a previously fracked oil/gas well is accomplished by isolating a plurality of previously fracked zones of an oil/gas well in a formation and measuring the fluid flow rates from the isolated zones using a three phase flow meter positioned within the well at or near the previously fracked zones. The zones may be isolated by an isolation assembly which includes two packers connected by a perforated pipe and attached to a tubular positioned within the well.

  • Patent number: 10000983
    Abstract: A jet pump assembly is adapted to be releasably attached to a tubular member of a tubular string in an oil well. The jet pump may be pumped out of the tubular string to the surface by a reverse flow of power fluid down the well between the tubular string and the casing of the well. Consequently the jet pump may be serviced or reconfigured to a direct pumping mode without the necessity of a wire line or other apparatus. A sensor for measuring downhole parameters such as temperature and pressure etc. is positioned within a cavity located in a lower portion of the jet pump so as to be removable from the well with the pump.

  • Publication number: 20160363552
    Abstract: A sensor detects the presence of an electrically conductive liquid such as water or the material at the bottom of a reservoir such as an oil pan or crank case. The water or other material will enter a gap between two contacts that are connected to a power source and a signal device such as an LED. The power source may be a battery positioned within the sensor or may be external.
